Lone Star (John Sayles, 1996) es una película sobre la etnicidad y sobre el peso del pasado tratado aquí de manera reflexiva. Es un tema inevitablemente presente en las películas norteamericanas (o en muchas de ellas) pero a menudo sólo como parte del trasfondo, o evitado en el desarrollo de la historia principal. Aquí está en el centro —y los dos temas son en realidad el mismo: cómo las relaciones entre comunidades étnicas en el presente están marcadas y condicionadas por lo que han sido sus relaciones (de opresión, de confrontación) en el pasado.

 English abstract:  Carrying the Burden of History: John Sayles's Lone Star

 Lone Star (John Sayles, 1996) is a film on ethnicity and on the weight of the past, which is dealt with here in a reflexive mode. It is a subject which is inevitably present in many American films, but as a rule merely as part of the background, and usually avoided in the unfolding of the main storyline. Here it is at the centre, and both subjects are really the same: the way in which the relationships between ethnic communities in the present are marked and conditioned by the history of their relations (of oppression or confrontation) in the past.
